RAW MANGO RICE | MANGO RECIPES

It would have been few years since I made Mango rice. Since mango season has started, I thought I should make it. And bought a couple of raw mangoes when I went to little Indian market with Jeyashri. Today I made and had it for lunch at last! This one is very simple recipe and its an easy lunch box idea as well. Just had it with mom’s home made vadams. Just the grating part. Otherwise, within 10 minutes the rice is ready! I had the recipe in a recipe book by Ramani Chandran called “Rani samayal.”

hi raks really its mouth watering recipe.. with full of enthu i have started to do with frozen mango.. but it turned disaster. can u guide me how can we handle with frozen mango's. it was terrible to grate the frozen mango. i use to get only fro-zed one in my area (US)

I've never even heard of mango rice, but I'm so excited to try these this summer! 🙂 I wonder these would taste so good with one of those masala gravies…like the butter chicken gravy but without chicken in it because you're a vegetarian 🙂
